Sorry mate - it sounds like I called you out too soon.

Ideally, keep race or skin colour or religion etc out of any discussion. As a rule of thumb I try to avoid noting any difference beyond M:F and even then - advisadly.

I don't think there is any reason to note Jew or Hasidic in your post. I have no idea whether a Jew might be offended by that because I would not even get to that point - no need to pontificate about something you don't know about.

People are people, regardless of race, creed or colour.

Let us embrace similarity and not disparity: Us not Them.



I agree completely on not mentioning if not relevant however I believe it was probably a substantial part of the story referenced.

Here’s a NYT article which might provide some context: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/16/nyregion/hasidic-jews-ama...


It wasn't my comment. But I appreciate the explanation. And I agree, their race wasn't relevant.
